The Most Recent Madame Fortuna

Carol grew up with the carnival and its attractions. Like the fortune teller: Madame Fortuna. Now Carol runs carnivals and their employees, including Madame Fortuna.

When the screaming begins, Carol doesn't need a fortune teller to predict trouble. She can do that all on her own. Fixing the problem, however, might take a magic touch.

"Rusch hits all the right notes here, delivering character, a strong narrative voice, and a solid story."
